SRU Justification Impact: Commit 466449c introduces a regression in acer-wmi that can result in soft blocks being incorrectly applied to rfkill switches in some circumstances. On the Fujitsu AMILO Li 2727 this results in wifi being soft blocked at boot, and since the wlan hotkey isn't working correctly this block can only be removed using the command line.
Fix: Patch from upstream which fixes the regression. Test case: Boot affected machine and observe soft block state on wlan rfkill switches. Tested by reporter on LP #710738.
